Soulja Boy Says He’s Done Working With Producers
On Monday (Aug. 21), Soulja Boy hopped on Twitter and explained why he won’t be collaborating with producers anymore. According to the 33-year-old rhymer’s tweet below, his latest mixtape, Soulja Season, was removed from all streaming platforms after a producer filed a copyright claim against him.
“My album ‘Soulja Season’ was taken off DSPs because of a copyright claim from a producer,” Soulja Boy wrote in a tweet. “I purchased the beat from 100% this is the third time this happened.”
The Southern-bred rapper also mentioned other times when producers claimed he didn’t have permission to use their beats before stating that he’s done working with producers.
Soulja Boy typed: “First ‘Biggest Opp’ then ‘BigDraco3’ This may be my last time working with producers. They messing it for all producers!”
After posting the tweet, the rapper tagged an independent digital music distribution named DistroKid underneath it to seemingly get their opinion on the matter.
